I would like your thoughts and nominations on who you would like to see as Moderators on JoeDios.

I am thinking we can have 3 moderators, so no one has to shoulder the burden alone, and the three can discuss issues as a group.

Please reply to nominate someone (even yourself) and give your reasoning. If the person is already nominated, post with your support. You can nominate or give support to more than one person. Our goal is to have a happy, friendly, creative site where people feel safe and free to share their art.

Last year, I left my job of 11 years with Sony to co-found a social gaming startup. That didn't work out, and I have been unemployed since December 1st. The job hunt has been tough. I nearly landed a great job at Warner Bros, but that dept had a hiring freeze right before they could get me onboard. I've flown to SF and Seattle on interviews and have a local interview in the morning. I even had a phone interview today with Amazon Games.

Anyway, we've had no income since November, and as you can imagine, money is tight. I will always keep my pledge to keep JD up as an archive for all Diorama photography, but I could use your help doing so.

If you can donate, please do! I will try to work out a special status icon for people who have donated recently to display next to their username, if you like.

My good friend Joshdahl has started a very unique Dio contest at The Terrordrome!
And he has honored me by inviting me to be a guest judge.

"The idea is to recreate a famous piece of art, but using Joes and Cobras. For example: Michelangelo's "God Creating Adam", but with Croc Master as God and Duke as Adam or "The Starry Night" by Van Gogh using the Terror Drome with Flight Pods & Fangs flying around. The possibilities aren't endless, but they are there and can be quite creative. And that is what we want to see."

Hasbro required a fast turn around on these questions, so I wrote these myself. Thankfully, we didn't get a lot of "not planned" answers, which are code for "no".

JoeDios Question: We at the JoeDios.com crew are really enjoying the diorama fold out back drops in the recent packaging. Do you plan to continue that feature?

Hasbro Answer: We currently plan on developing the dioramas.

JoeDios Question: Many of the most recent figures come with far more accessories than the figure can hold at once, which we Diorama creators LOVE. The latest Zartan and Stormshadow come to mind. Will you be continuing this trend?

Hasbro Answer: We're so happy that you like it. We have been working hard to provide great value and play with our figures and will continue to try... [Read More]
